Know the Score

A plague on our houses will we ever be alright?

Another vigil on the streets of our cities tonight

We've all walked home with our keys in a fist

Jump at every footstep coming too close

     

Every girl grows into a woman who

knows the score

We know we're not safe until we're

through the door

Know the score

The clock tower chimes as I walk past the car

An owl screeches out at the midnight hour

I turn round to stare and I reach for my personal alarm

Put my shoulders back and I hold my head high

Every girl grows into a

Woman who knows the score

We know we're not safe until

We're through the door

Know the score

Abuse of power comes as no surprise

Say the words on the t shirt of a woman whose hands are tied

Say her name, say her name, say her name, say her name
